contents This work is part of a general study on the long-term safety of the geological repository of nuclear wastes. A diffusion equation with a moving free boundary in one dimension is introduced and studied. The model describes some mechanisms involved in corrosion processes at the surface of carbon steel canisters in contact with a claystone formation. The main objective of the paper is to prove the existence of weak solutions to the problem which are maximal in time. For this, a time semidiscrete minimizing movements scheme based on a Wasserstein-like distance is introduced. The existence of solutions to the scheme is proved. Then, using a priori estimates, it is shown that as the time step goes to zero these solutions converge up to extraction towards a maximal weak solution to the free boundary model.
